A History of Support

In 1992 the company sold a single product—the Pocket Nurse® pocket organizer that included bandage scissors, a hemostat, an integrated penlight, and an engraved nameplate. The Pocket Nurse was a success, but owner Anthony Battaglia, MS, BSN, RN, had a vision to help Health Educators in their instructional efforts. In the 25 years following, we’ve made it our mission to meet those needs, even if it means developing entirely original products like the InjectEd® injection simulator. Although we no longer carry the company's namesake product, it lives on in the success of our brand.

 

Today, we carry over 5,600 products including Pocket Nurse® brand products, Demo Dose® simulated medications and Student Health Totes. We offer industry news and insights in the form of our corporate blog—SimTalk™ Blog.
